WELCOME TO ROBABOB39 HORROR DVD AND BLURAY REVIEWS AND NEWS. I REVIEW MAINLY HORROR,SCI-FI ACTION,AND SOME COMEDY FILMS. I WILL TRY TO REVIEW MOST NEW RELEASES,ALSO SOME OLDER RELEASES TOO,AND FILMS I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED OVER THE YEARS.I AlSO WANT TO SHOWCASE INDEPENDENT FILMS, FROM SMALLER INDEPENDENT PRODUCTION COMPANIES.

A film I first saw the trailer for just before Christmas, but thinking it's just another Taken style action thriller, I never really gave it a second thought, well it is now streaming on Netflix in the UK if you are interested and available on DVD.

I was given a streaming copy to watch from the great people at Unkork'd Entertainment, and watched it, and you know I will admit I was so wrong, for a low budget British made film, the film puts most if not all US thrillers to shame. Starring Angela Dixon, a little known Indie actress, who deserves to be seen at a larger level, although being an actress She is an established Yoga instructor in the UK, so she is fit, and not just in the looks department but my goodness me the amount she runs, jumps and free runs like a professional, puts Liam Neeson late fifties Brian to shame. A film that if you didn't know about a mothers love, and the things they are capable of, a Mothers bond is so strong, which is shown to perfection in this movie.

Plot summary;

Angela Dixon plays Lisa, a single mother travelling to Morocco with her gorgeous baby girl, blonde hair blue eyes, we believe Lisa to have had issues in her life, from a personal tragedy early on, as we see flash backs of a car accident, we are led to believe she is already a fragile woman, but how wrong we are to make those assumptions. When her beautiful baby girl is kidnapped in broad daylight at the beach by a gang of people traffickers, she goes on a one woman violent crusade to get back her child. Stuck in a foreign country, with the police already assuming she is a suspect after killing one of the people traffickers. who stole her child.

Did I tell you that Lisa is on leave, as she is CIA trained, in arms, combat, and general kicking the hell out of you.

Now I loved the original Taken I thought it was a breath of fresh air to the action genre, unfortunately ruined by unnecessary sequels that even Liam Neeson was bored of doing. That is why the comparison is always going to be there for this movie, it even has on the UK DVD cover " this years Taken!!" But this movie is so much more, and proving a woman's love is always unconditional, she actually seems more determined, more dangerous, more vicious in her revenge whilst looking for her baby girl. The film is violent we have bones broken, a man run over by a car, various headshots, a scene straight out of the Rambo movies, with a do it yourself medical procedure. A straight out, balls out action movie that is the best I have seen in a while, and for once starring a brilliant lead in the form of Angela Dixon, she shows every emotion, the determination, the frustration and the fact that women are not the weaker sex, and are In fact our equals, a fantastic movie, that I really can recommend.

I came across this trailer on YouTube yesterday, and it is doing the rounds again on social media, a trailer first showing in 2015, that got everyone talking " is this for real" " this can not be a film can it?" As it turns out no, it is a trailer that is well made, but certainly is not going to be a film anytime soon.
A one joke trailer about a randy ghost intent on jerking men off, using handjobs, I'm surprised the tag line wasn't "Cumming soon".
This was obviously made by men with a running narrative that women cannot give a decent handjob, and having them do the deed is worse than death, instead you have a ghost who wants to jerk all men to death.
It is as awful as you'd expect it to be, but I still found myself chuckle a few times, it is rude, crude, insinuating, and in fairness harmless fun, a film if made I would actually probably watch, it certainly looks better than the recent Cabin Fever, Evil Dead 2013.

Tree is about to have a very bad day, again, and again and again.
College Grad Tree, a self centred bitch, who you take an instant dislike to, who is foul to everyone.
Treats everyone like dirt, then wonders why someone would want her dead. With a groundhog Day loop thing going on every time she is murdered she has to live through the same Monday the 18th, until she can find out her wants her dead, solve her own murder, and maybe become a better person in the mean time.The thing is I really wanted to hate this movie, but I couldn't, because of the performance from Jessica Rothe as Tree, in her first scream queen role, starring previously in La La Land, and Netflix's Parallels.
She is so likeable and believable in the role, although playing the bitch perfectly, she is deep down a damaged soul, still mourning the death of her mother, and her grief is her anger towards fellow People.
With some inventive kills, and no matter what Tree does, the day always ends in her death, with …

A film that strangely has been long forgotten, from 1980, and a film that has no mention about any remake or reboot. That is how this good film has been left on the shelf, compared to other slashers of that decade. Strange as it has possibly the best onscreen kills, with amazing practical effects from Gore master Tom Savini.

Plot summary;
A jilted soldier returns home from world war 2, hearing just before that his girlfriend has replaced him with another man. At the graduation ball of 1945, Rosemary is brutally slain alongside her new boyfriend. Shocking the town, that another ball has been postponed for 35 years. It is now 1980 the ball has been agreed once more, and the jilted soldier is not happy and decides to slay the party goers once more.

Formally known as the Prowler especially in the States, but changed to Rosemary's Killer in the UK. The film apart from the great Gore effects is quite average though, and probably why it has never been remade. With the jilted soldier in…
